No Muslim is allowed to encroach upon another Muslim's...
No Muslim is allowed to encroach upon another Muslim's possessions including his blood, fame and wealth. كُلُّ المُسْلِمِ عَلَى المُسْلِمِ حَرَامٌ: مَالُهُ وَعِرْضُهُ وَدَمُهُ، حَسْبُ امْرِىءٍ مِنَ الشَّرِّ أنْ يُحَقِّرَ أخَاهُ المُسْلِمَ. No Muslim is allowed to encroach upon other Muslims' blood, fame and wealth. Belittling a Muslim brother suffices (to show) one's evil.
ما مِنْ شَيْءٍ أُطِيعَ اللَّهُ فِيْهِ بِأَعْجَلَ ثَوَابَاً مِنْ صِلَةِ الرَّحِم؛ وَما مِنْ عَمَلٍ يُعْصَى اللَّهُ فِيْهِ بِأَعْجَلَ عُقُوبَةً مِنْ بَغْيٍ. No obedience to God fruits in quicker reward than observing bonds of kinship, and no disobedience to Him results in quicker punishment than oppression. لا يَبْغي عَلَى النَّاسِ اِلاّ وَلَدُ بَغِيٍّ؛ وَلا مَنْ فيهِ عِرْقٌ مِنْهُ. No one achieves the state of virtue unless he connives at the permissible, out of fear for the impermissible.
لا يَبْلُغُ العَبْدُ حَقيقَةَ الإيْمَانَ حَتَّى يَخْزُنَ مِنْ لِسانِهِ. No one achieves true faith unless he comes to know that both what he gains and what he doesn't are predestined for him. لا يَبْلُغُ العَبْدُ أنْ يَكُونَ مِنَ المُتَّقينَ حَتَّى يَدَعَ ما لا بَأْسَ بِهِ حَذَراً لِمَا بِهِ البَأْسُ. No one achieves true faith unless he controls his tongue. لا تُنْزَعُ الرَّحْمَةُ إلاّ مِنْ شَقِيٍّ. No one but the wicked are deprived of (God's) mercy.
ما اكْتَسَبَ مُكْتَسِبٌ مِثْلَ فَضْلِ عِلْمٍ يَهْدي صَاحِبَهُ إلى هُدَىً، أوْ يَرُدَّهُ عَنْ رَدىً؛ وَلا اسْتَقَامَ دِينُهُ حَتَّى يَسْتَقيمَ عَقْلُهُ. No one can gain anything better than the knowledge leading its holder to guidance or saving him from danger, and no one's faith gets perfected unless his wisdom is improved. لا يَتَجالَسُ قَوْمٌ إلاّ بِالأَمَانَةِ. No one is allowed to put himself into trouble in serving his guests. ما زُوِيَتِ الدُّنْيَا عَنْ أحَدٍ إلاّ كَانَتْ خَيْرَاً لَهُ.
No one is deprived of the world (secular benefits) without being rewarded in good. لَيْسَ أحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ بِأَكْسَبَ مِنْ أحَدٍ، قَدْ كَتَبَ اللَّهُ المُصِيْبَةَ وَالأجَلَ وَقَسَّمَ المَعِيْشَةَ وَالعَمَلَ. No one is more capable of making a living than others, for God has predestined calamity, death, business and sustenance. ما مِنْ أحَدٍ أفْضَلَ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ مِنْ اِمَامٍ؛ إنْ قَالَ صَدَقَ؛ وَإنْ حَكَمَ عَدَلَ.
No one is more superior to God than a leader who tells the truth when speaking, and administers justice. لَيْسَ لأحَدٍ عَلى أحَدٍ فَضْلٌ إلاّ بِالدِّيْنِ أوْ عَمَلٍ صَالِحٍ. No one is superior to others save for faith and good deeds.
